GQ City Guides Insiders' Picks: Donnie Madia on His Most Underrated Place in Chicago

We picked our favorites, but we can’t pick ’em all—so we asked the talented ladies ands gents featured in our GQ City Guides to tell us their most treasured and underrated shops, bars, and restaurants in the cities they call home.

"Although not widely viewed as a museum, I recommend visiting the Chicago Cultural Center’s artist series. The public exhibits showcases local artists and incredible talents from around the world, in a space evoking classical revival design. One exhibit I totally loved was a show of Vivian Maier’s work. Maier was an interesting lady, a nanny for a family from Chicago’s North Shore and an amateur street photographer whose works only gained notoriety postmortem."
